Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured was entitled to free legal representation in the objection proceedings
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Given the complex medical evidence, the contradictory assessments, and the importance of a possible disability pension, legal counsel was objectively necessary.
Extrahierte Begründung
The case was not simple in fact or law; the authority’s sparse reasoning made it difficult for a layperson to respond, and the possibility of help from non-lawyer support persons did not replace the need for a lawyer.
